Just a side note -- if you haven't been reading about all the stuff going on in the Middle East lately, you really should check it out. There are a lot of potentially big things happening. From the protests in Lebanon to the sudden announcement that Egypt will have (sort of) democratic elections, there's definitely something in the air. At this point you could say that a few Arab countries have a better chance of becoming a full-fledged democracy before the Browns could contend for the AFC championship. But, you know, damn it, I'm crossing that Browns/Rest-of-world blogging line I've drawn for myself. Still, if you have the inclination check it out and make your own judgments.
